Slow Sage 100? Try This First

Is your Sage 100 speed slower than you’d like? In many cases we have seen this issue after a system upgrade. Often the root cause is not Sage 100 itself (or the upgrade) but one of the following:

Check Anti-Virus: Exclude these files on both your server (Important Note: Some versions of anti-virus don’t let you exclude server scans and may require that you update your anti-virus to an enterprise or professional edition – check with your IT staff).

..\MAS90\PVXWIN32.EXE

..\MAS90\LAUNCH32.EXE

Exclude this folder on the server

..\MAS90\*.*

Exclude these file extensions from scanning – both on the server and the workstation

DCL, DD, DDE, DDF, LIB, M4L, M4P, M4T, PRM, PVC, PVX, RPT, SOA, XEQ

Are you on a virtual server?

Allocate sufficient memory and processing cores

Whatever the present memory and cores allocated are – increase them temporarily and test performance

A Final Note About Sage 100 Upgrades And Changes In Speed

When you are upgrading to a different server or server location (which is almost always) be aware that the file exclusions for anti-virus scans for your old implementation of Sage 100 probably need to be redone with the new Sage 100 location in mind.

In some cases you’ll find that slower hardware or network interface cards (NIC) might be the culprit. In most cases we are finding Anti-virus and malware scanners are the cause. Check with your Sage partner for assistance on further diagnosing the issue or contact us for Sage 100 support.
